US EditionICE arrests more than 400 undocumented immigrants during week-long operation aimed at improving public safety in Houston
- During a seven-day enforcement effort in Houston from May 4 to May 10, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement apprehended 422 individuals residing in the country without authorization.
- The operation occurred amid expanded expedited removal policies and plans to streamline deportations using a new 'hub-and-spoke' system established under the Trump administration.
- ICE targeted immigrants who exhausted due process and had final removal orders, with 296 of those arrested having criminal convictions, including some convicted of violent crimes and repeat deportees.
- According to officials in Houston, the streamlined process enables individuals to be apprehended, processed, and deported within a single day, which they say reduces costs for taxpayers while prioritizing public safety.
- The operation aims to enhance safety by removing dangerous individuals, while advocacy groups criticize expedited procedures as risking legal errors and violations of immigrants' rights.
